rice hull ash for nuka

Does anyone know of a good source for rice hull ash?

I'm living in Florida, where rice hulls are hard to come by, and want to
work with nuka glazes. There are good recipes that have substitutes for ric=
e
hull ash, but I would like to use the original component if possible and
would rather not have 50# sacks of rice hulls shipped from the West Coast
for me to burn for ash.

Much simpler all around if I can just find someone to supply the rice hull
ash directly. Can anyone help?



Many thanks,

Arthur,
rice hull ash is also used as a base for burning powdered incense, so you
can buy it from the better incense vendors, I even saw it on Amazon in thei=
r
market place. Just go on amazon and do a search.....

Pam who makes incense so shops obscure places for aromatics and such.......=
